LOL, BARNEY FRANK: After actually making the bailout deal with Chris Dodd, Barney Frank says of McCain’s dumb stunt: “He hasn’t been involved. He doesn’t know anything about it.” [Gawker/CBS]

McCain suspended his Senator-ness

The Gordo September 25, 2008 at 4:33 pm

As a citizen of the fine state of Arizona, I’d like to take the opportunity to say “Sorry.”

shortsshortsshorts September 25, 2008 at 4:33 pm

If a McCain falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

StrangelyBrown September 25, 2008 at 4:33 pm

“McCain is Andy Kaufman in his Mighty Mouse costume – ‘Here I Come to Save the Day,’”

Absolutely beautiful. Could that be the theme for our next Wonkette Photoshop contest?

Delicious September 25, 2008 at 4:34 pm

Yeah, but is he scheming with Boner and the lunatic House R’s to vote against the bill, and then campaign against it?

columnv September 25, 2008 at 4:34 pm

He’s named after a cartoon.

Hello my friends. I’m back. Let’s roll up our shirtsleeves and… Where the fuck is everyone?

John McCain has lost his boehner.

[re=108550]Delicious[/re]: Of course he is, he’s mighty maverick godammit! I can’t stop giggling at the cheese cat…

Apparently Barney Frank is unaware of McCain’s telekinetic mental powers, developed over 5 1/2 years while he was being held prisoner in a Gallic-Vietnamese pit o’ Hell known as the Paris Hilton, and which allowed him to manipulate John Bohner’s thought processes and get him to agree to the bill. McCain had to be in town because his mental powers only work at a relatively close distance (he was hiding in a closet during the negotiations).

magic titty September 25, 2008 at 4:40 pm

Just wait ’til Tucker Bounds calls Barney a mangy faggot. Then we’ll see some action.

Nizzles! September 25, 2008 at 4:41 pm

[re=108558]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: But Barney has teh gayz disease.

Yay! The debate is still on!..oh….shit.

Thank you, thank you, tip your waiters, try the veal…

The Cold Sea September 25, 2008 at 4:41 pm

[re=108550]Delicious[/re]: I believe Pelosi, Frank and Dodd are aware of that.. Reid, on the other hand is not aware of the color of his underwear or whether he’s wearing trousers or a cocktail dressso the plan is to not vote on this until there are guarantees. Please resume snark.

BobLoblawLawBlog September 25, 2008 at 4:43 pm

Seriously, now. God Bless Barney Frank and his crotchety ol’ self.

InsidiousTuna September 25, 2008 at 4:44 pm

I suspended doing my homework until the economy is repaired. My teachers are displeased, but I’m taking a leadership position. I’m a Maverick.

…like this is going to stop McLame from taking credit for it anyway!

Fucking Fail Cheese Cat!

Frank in Tank Spanks Crank

rambone September 25, 2008 at 4:50 pm

[re=108583]InsidiousTuna[/re]: That’s funny, I’ve suspended bathing and wiping my ass after I take a dump until the economy improves as well.

It’s actually not much of a sacrifice as I enjoy all the extra free time my new “no-ass-wiping or bathing” policy affords me.

Cronopio September 25, 2008 at 4:53 pm

Yay Barney! You still rock, old pal.

njdon September 25, 2008 at 4:54 pm

obama going into a room with two southern white guys. not a good idea.

WhatTheHeck September 25, 2008 at 4:56 pm

My friends, had I not been in D.C., this deal could never have been agreed upon.
This proves I have the leadership capabilities to be president.

I am now above presidential debates. I don’t need no stinkin’ debates.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 25, 2008 at 4:56 pm

KO should again be epic tonight. I mean, last night, he had witchhunter pastors, but tonight he has lost Grampy in search of a solution everyone else has already found. Classic!

skippy September 25, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Sometimes Barney does stuff that makes me consider batting for the other team. There, I’m secure enough to admit it.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 25, 2008 at 5:00 pm

[re=108583]InsidiousTuna[/re]: [re=108596]rambone[/re]: So, the economic downturn is kind of like Lent. You give something up, but hopefully it’s something that mainly pisses off the rest of the world. Good times!

jinmoom September 25, 2008 at 5:01 pm

I love this McCain stunt more and more with each passing hour.

tunamelt September 25, 2008 at 5:02 pm

“McCain is Andy Kaufman in his Mighty Mouse costume – ‘Here I Come to Save the Day”

Oh, the poor old codger.

jamescarmel September 25, 2008 at 5:03 pm

Richard Shelby is a douchenozzle. That is all.

wtf_files September 25, 2008 at 5:03 pm

McCain just announced that he’s willing to resume his campaign, but wishes to continue to suspend his loss of the election indefinitely. Obama’s unwillingness to go along with the senior senator’s demands only underscores his lack of patriotism. Do we really want a non-patriot like this running the country when Putin rears his head over Alaska’s international maritime border?

tunamelt September 25, 2008 at 5:04 pm

[re=108608]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Except you forget and find yourself eating bacon on Fridays, anyway.

pondscum September 25, 2008 at 5:05 pm

[re=108615]tunamelt[/re]: Because, seriously, how are you supposed to stop eating bacon. mmmm….bacon….

Miller September 25, 2008 at 5:10 pm

What’s funny is McCain is walking around the Capitol with a piece of cheese stuck on his head. No one has the heart to tell him it’s been there all day.

Can we start a pool on what McCain’s next completely implausible stunt will be?

This should make you giggle:

So, Barry takes questions in about ten minutes. There is SO MUCH LIVEBLOGGING going on HERE, in this FREE CHAT ROOM.

Yes, it is full of Republican senators.

SkimLatteModerate September 25, 2008 at 5:22 pm

“fuck you frank!!111!!” seems to be the new meme du jour over at the Ron Paul forums. Don’t judge me! This bailout pretty much goes against everything they’ve ever believed in, so I take solace in reading their reactions.

tunamelt September 25, 2008 at 5:26 pm

[re=108635]InsidiousTuna[/re]: I hate you, since I still can’t use that at work.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 25, 2008 at 5:34 pm

[re=108628]tunamelt[/re]: He’ll walk out wearing his undies as a hat. Or stomp around and refuse to vote for the compromise because he wasn’t involved. Oops! Too late. Already doing that.
